The Streams of NGC1097

This image was taken from my observatory in Moorook, AU. There are interesting optical "jets" or "streams" that some believe are from a recent galaxy merger. They are very faint and make this Seyfert type Galaxy pretty interesting.

If you would like to read more about the jets ; http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2003ApJ...585..281H


Thanks for taking the time to look,

Kindest Regards,
